So when visual information is constricted, cut off, or downright unintelligible, things happen. Due to the reliance of the typical human psyche on visual information, as well as a number of things in modern life, over stimulation of the eyes can be a problem that might end in visual migraines. Visual migraines are basically a migraine that was induced by some sort of visual stimuli, and is generally relived by your usual array of migraine relief medications. However, the causes of visual migraines can vary more than the average migraine, as this variant of migraine tends to be caused more by how the brain burns itself out interpreting visual signals than more typical factors.
